The Originals
Air Dates: Tuesdays at 8:00pm ET/PT
Network: CW
Although the vampire-themed television series have been played out as spin-offs of the Twilight films, CW Network adds The Originals to their network of vamp shows. The New Orleans Vampire Diaries spin-off has been one of the more overlooked new series this year and is consistently gaining viewership only from word of mouth. Being on the 5th network and able to maintain a fan base as a new series is rare in the digital era. Two weeks ago CW ordered an extra set of episodes to bring the total up to 22 for the spring season.
Featuring Vampire Diaries characters Klaus, Elijah and Rebekah, we’re shown the Mikaelson siblings in a new light with the city of New Orleans being up for grabs with Klaus protégé Marcel currently in charge. We’re not the biggest fans of Vamp shows from the past, but The Originals been surprisingly catching our attention especially being a spin-off of a series we weren’t exactly too fond of.
